Confirmed. There will be suspensions. But we have no details. Might get ready to hammer the other side.
Noles Won’t Burn Redshirts For Bowl Game

While we continue to wait to find out how bad the suspensions are for the Music City Bowl and the beginning of next season, Offensive Coordinator / HCIW (Head Coach In Waiting) Jimbo Fisher flat out said that FSU will not burn any red shirts just to fill holes for the game, since the coaches feel that it’s not good for the players.
I say good move coaches.

How Bad Will The FSU Suspensions Be?

And how much will we find out?
Rumors have circulated all weekend about the number of suspended FSU football players for the Music City Bowl and into the 2008 season. The numbers range from the not-so-scary to the very scary, especially when a 3 game suspension to start next season is factored in. Will FSU announce names today or tomorrow, or just numbers? How far reaching is the situation when considering all FSU sports? And will the NCAA intervene? The Tallahassee Democrat doesn’t have any answers yet, just some estimates. Brace yourselves fans, it’s going to be a rough week.

As many as 20 Florida State football players will be suspended from playing against Kentucky in the Dec. 31 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, as well as the first three games of the 2008 season, for their roles in an alleged cheating scandal involving an Internet-based course, a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday morning.
Florida State officials are expected to announce the results of the investigation this week. The source said university officials determined Monday night the exact number of football players who will be suspended. The university isn't expected to immediately reveal the identities of the student-athletes involved in the alleged cheating.
"If the players fight the suspensions, they'll risk losing all of their eligibility," a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday morning.
The source said student-athletes in several other sports also were implicated in the cheating scandal.
The investigation already has led to the resignations of two academic assistance employees who worked with FSU student-athletes. The school revealed in September that as many as 23 student-athletes were given answers before taking tests over the Internet.
Further investigations revealed additional student-athletes were involved in the cheating, according to the source.
The school's investigation found that a tutor gave students answers while they were taking tests and filled in answers on quizzes and typed papers for students.
Florida State president T.K. Wetherell, a former Seminoles football player, reported the initial findings in a letter to the NCAA in September.
Wetherell ordered an investigation by the university's Office of Audit Services in May after receiving information an athletics department tutor had directed one athlete to take an online quiz for another athlete and then provided the answers.
The tutor implicated in the audit told investigators he had been providing students with answers for the test since the fall of 2006, according to a university report.
The school announced in October that athletics director Dave Hart Jr. will resign Dec. 31. Wetherell appointed State Rep. William "Bill" Proctor interim athletics director. Proctor also is a former FSU football player.
The school announced last week that longtime football coach Bobby Bowden had agreed to a one-year contract extension through the 2008 season that will pay him at least $1.98 million. Bowden, who is in his 32nd season at the school, is major college football's all-time winningest coach with 373 career victories.
Florida State also designated offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher as Bowden's eventual successor. Fisher's new contract calls for him to replace Bowden by the end of the 2010 season. If Fisher isn't named FSU's new coach by then, the school's booster organization would owe him $2.5 million. Under the terms of the new contract, Fisher would owe Seminoles boosters $2.5 million if he leaves the school before the end of the 2010 season.
The Seminoles struggled for the fourth consecutive season in 2007, finishing 7-5 overall, 4-4 in ACC play. It is the fourth consecutive season they failed to win 10 games, after winning at least 10 games in 14 consecutive seasons, from 1987 to 2000.<!-- / message -->

this is why...........
this is exactly why doin the Bowl Games ALL AT ONCE for your contest is just too hard to even fathom!!
2 days before the first bowl starts we get this news, and who knows what well get in 5 days or 10, i wish you guys could have set up this Bowl contest at a Game by Game basis as they come up by date, not a whole bowl selection process in which anything Can happen , such as this!!
so who needs to change that pick now and CANT?? luckily im waiting till the Last second to do this thing, but this kind of shit makes capping 32 games that are weeks away so much more difficult, i hope more shit like this doesnt come up AFTER we make our picks!!
ahh well were all at the same disadvantage i spose but ... what can ya do!!

Couple things...
- It is nearly impossible to do a confidence pool on a game by game basis.
- Everyone is following the same rules
- It's FREE to participate for your chance to win part of the $1,000 in prizes
- It's only 32 games... You've capped the teams all season, you should know about the teams, and you had 2-3 weeks to prepare.
- No one is forcing you to participate

Really? It's free money and nobody is forcing you to play.
What do you want? A sure thing?
